Not sure what to say?

I just stumbled upon this and was so sad to see it. I´m so sorry Dave. Your mom and entire family have always been so nice and such great neighbors many years ago. We were very lucky to have the families and the upbringings we had. I hope all is going well for you. Sincerely, Steve

Dave and family, I´m so sorry to hear of your mom´s passing. She was one in a million and an even better neighbor. There´s never been a Halloween that we don´t talk about your mom, and smile . Many hugs and prayers to you all. Love. Jeni and Doc Banic

I´m so sorry for the loss of your beloved family member. Mrs Smith was one of my favorite teachers at Boston. I´ve thought of her often throughout the years. She was always tough but kind. During the truck or treat in the neighborhood when my children were young, she dressed as a convincing witch with a caldron filled with candy for the children. Thank you, Mrs. Smith, for these wonderful memories. Prayers for comfort in all the memories for your family.

So sorry to hear about Sylvia´s passing. I worked with her at Boston Middle School. She took great pride in her Library. Such a great lady. She will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Smith taught me how to diagram a sentence and I LOVED it because of her. I begged her to give me the longest sentence she could come up with just so I could diagram it down to the subject and verb! God bless her family and loved ones.

She was my favorite english teacher at Boston Middle School. She was a wonderful lady. She will be sadly missed.

Thanks to Sylvia for her decades of service to the students and staff of the LPCSC. Sincere condolences to Sylvia's family from the LPHS English Department.

Sylvia was my 8th grade English teacher at Boston Junior HS... she was a tough and demanding which was no fun as an 8th grader. As I grew up, I learned to appreciate her teaching skills. When I returned later as a substitute teacher and the School Resource Officer, she was always kind and helpful. My sincere condolences to the family.
